eachers Choosing Mathematics
Inge Koch & Janine McIntoshThe basis for teacher confidence, or the lack of it, in teaching mathematics varies across the teaching cohort, with many reporting a range of degrees of comfort with their own mathematical abilities. Through the CHOOSEMATHS Project, we have found some interesting connections in the preliminary data and suggest some explanations for it. CHOOSEMATHS is a national project aimed at getting more girls and young women into mathematics through targeted teacher professional development, career awareness, and mentoring and support across mathematics.
